Chapter 194 Escaping Mary Geoise
Mary Geoise was in chaos.
Screams, curses, flames, and corpses formed the dominant theme.
This sacred land, which had stood high above for eight hundred years, overlooking the mortal realm, had never been so disheveled.
Boa Hancock peeked out, cautiously looking left and right.
"No enemies, let's go!"
She waved behind her and ran off first.
Boa Marigold and Boa Sandersonia, though filled with fear, quickly followed.
"Sister, can we really escape?"
"We definitely can!"
Hancock's small face was tense, her tone firm: "This might be our only chance, we must seize it no matter what!"
Just as they crossed the path and were about to enter the main road, two men in suits suddenly appeared, blocking their path.
"Halt! You're slaves, aren't you?"
Marigold and Sandersonia tensed immediately.
Hancock also felt a little flustered, but quickly became resolute.
In such a chaotic situation, accidents were normal.
However, she wouldn't stop because of this.
She had to leave, even if it meant risking her life!
"Come back with us obediently, otherwise, in this situation, no one will care if a few slaves die."
The two men looked at Hancock, a greedy glint in their eyes.
Although she was young, dressed in rags, and her face was dirty, a closer look revealed her stunning beauty.
Hancock's expression was cold, her hands forming a heart shape.
"Sweetheart!"
A series of pink heart-shaped lights flashed past, and the two men in suits stopped in their tracks, their faces first showing astonishment, then intense fear.
Gray spread, their bodies gradually petrifying, turning them into two stone statues in the blink of an eye, their expressions of terror frozen on their faces.
Hancock breathed a sigh of relief.
Although the origin of this ability was shameful, the power itself was indeed formidable.
Marigold and Sandersonia were both overjoyed.
"Great, sister!"
"Let's go!" Hancock didn't waste any words.
Just as they were about to leave, their expressions changed drastically.
Ahead, a row of people dressed in white suits and wearing white masks slowly approached.
"It's CP0!"
Marigold's face showed despair.
CP0 was an intelligence agency directly under the Celestial Dragons, and all its members were handpicked, earning it the reputation of "the Celestial Dragons' strongest shield" and "the world's strongest intelligence agency."
Hancock's heart sank.
Although she couldn't see their faces, she could tell from their builds that there were women among these CP0 spies!
The effects of the Love-Love Fruit were greatly reduced on women.
CP0 naturally noticed Hancock and her companions as well.
"There are a few slaves over there, looks like they're trying to escape."
"Hmph! Mary Geoise is full of runaway slaves now."
"What do we do with them? Capture them?"
"We don't have that many manpower. Just kill them!"
They made no attempt to hide their conversation from Hancock and her two sisters.
The three sisters' faces were grim.
This was the worst possible situation.
"Let me handle this!" A CP0 agent slowly stepped forward.
Hancock's body tensed.
Although she had suffered greatly these past few years, she hadn't forgotten the combat skills she learned as a child on Amazon Lily. Combined with the power of the Love-Love Fruit, she wasn't without a chance!
Boom!
Just then, a crimson flame streaked across the sky, engulfing the CP0 agent.
Under the intense heat, the air distorted, and waves of heat swept around.
A moment later, the flames subsided, and several charred, unrecognizable corpses lay silently on the ground.
Hancock and her two sisters were stunned.
Dead!
All the CP0 agents who were just moments ago so arrogant are dead!
The crisis vanished just like that.
Hancock seemed to sense something and suddenly turned her head.
Not far away, a huge black shadow flew past, followed closely by two figures exuding a terrifying aura.
"It's that person!" Marigold covered her mouth with both hands, her eyes filled with surprise.
Sandersonia said, "I didn't expect him to still be able to help us in this situation."
Hancock withdrew her gaze, her expression resolute.
"Let's go!"
The three of them quickly ran outside.
[Killed a human, gained 200 experience points.]
[Congratulations on leveling up!]
"Not bad!"
Aoki nodded secretly, not expecting to encounter a team of CP0 agents on the way, good luck.
Buzz!
A dazzling golden light flew from behind, emitting a strong energy fluctuation.
Aoki's expression remained unchanged, he raised his palm, his five fingers spread.
Boom!
The scorching light fell, scorching his skin, leaving large scars, but it immediately healed.
"Dragon's Breath!"
Aoki opened his mouth, and flames condensed, erupting forth in bursts of fire.
Kizaru, his body wreathed in golden light, flashed repeatedly, dodging the flames as he rapidly closed in.
The flames struck the ground, transforming into massive fireballs, creating a continuous series of deafening explosions.
Aoki didn't engage, turning to continue his escape.
Although his Logia-type Devil Fruit had been weakened, the speed of the Glint-Glint Fruit remained undeniable.
The land suddenly vanished, replaced by sheer cliffs.
In the distance, clouds swirled, and below stretched an endless ocean.
Aoki's eyes flickered.
The edge of the Red Line had arrived, but a familiar figure stood at the cliff's edge.
"You can't escape!" Figarando Grimm's voice was stern, his long sword wreathed in heavy Haki.
At the same time, Kizaru's speed surged, rapidly closing in on Aoki.
"A pincer attack?"
Aoki inhaled, opened his mouth, and a spark appeared, rapidly expanding into a terrifying fireball tens of meters in diameter.
Boom!
The massive fireball crashed down at his feet, instantly engulfing him in its violent flames.
Kizaru and Figarando Grimaldar were both startled and stopped in their tracks.
What was this suicidal attack?
Flames surged, and heat waves transformed into violent shockwaves.
A figure burst from the flames, riding the shockwave into the sky.
"It's him!"
Kizaru and Figarando Grimaldar immediately gave chase.
A brief moment of levitation was no challenge for them.
Whoosh!
Bat wings unfurled, and Aoki traced an arc in the sky, rapidly flying towards the edge of the Red Line.
However, Kizaru and Figarando Grimaldar were even faster.
Whoosh!
A golden light flashed, and Kizaru swiftly closed in on Aoki.
"Is that special state over? Then you'll have to stay here today."
Aoki turned around, a smile on his face. "No, I stopped voluntarily because it's no longer needed."
Kizaru's expression changed, and he launched an attack without hesitation.
A golden light flashed, and Aoki's figure disappeared.
"Where did he go?"
Kizaru's Observation Haki scanned back and forth, quickly catching a trace of his presence, but before he could act, the presence vanished again and never reappeared.
